Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1887-04-24


game was q great improvement on the pre-
ceding ones, and the crowd became very
enthusiastic Us they saw their fayorites
pile up run after run in great style,
while their opponents, though dan
gerously close at times in the early
part of the game, never succeeded in
overcoming the lead obtained in the first
inning. The boys played like veterans
aud surprised even their staunchestsuppOrt-
ers by such strong showing after the very
slight opportunity they have had for prae-
tiee, while the voices of the former crOak-
ers were lost in the enthusiastic plaudits
which rewarded every good play.
The game was won on its merits and
was very interesting from start to finish.
If the home nine continues to improve at
the same rate they will make it warm for
their competitors in the race for the Ohio
League pennant. The game, in detail, is
as follows:
Wheeling went to bat first. CrOgan got
his base on balls. Dunn drove a long fly
to Centre, which was taken in by Tobin.
Mallory hit for two bases, bringing
Crogan in with an earned run. Westlake,
Speidel and Bailey followed with singles,
sending Dunn and Mallory home. Speidel
crossed the plate while the Bells were
doing some wild throwing. Dudley hit 10
pitcher and died at first, Nichol retired the
side by following suit, leaving Bailey on
ihird-FOur for Wheeling
For the Bells, Quinn drove hot one to
Steel, who picked it up neatly and threw
him out to first Madden hit TO Bailey
and saw the ball in Speidel's hands be,
fore he got there. Miller followed with q
fine twO-bagger, but was forced out by
McShanock's short hit to first.
In the second inning Steel got one Of
the new-style-base-hits. CrOgan sent
hot one to Miller, who din't hold it.
Dunn went out on another long fly to
Tobin, who made q fine double play,
throwing out Steel at the plate. Mallory
made his second hit, bringing in
Crogan; Westlake went out from third
to first, ending the half-inning with one
more run to the credit of the green stock
ings.
In the third half the Bells scored an
other goose-egg, although Foley made 9
base-hit.
Speidel opened the third with base-hit
Bailey retired on fly to second; Dudley
hit for base; NichOl flied 10 second and
Steel to right. No runs.
The Bells were more successful this
time aud placed three runs on their side
of the tally-sheet, Madden hitting single
Miller taking first on being hit by the
pitSber, McShanock getting there on al
error in Judgment, and all coming home
on one or two costly errors of the home
team.
The green's made two more in the fourth
inning by timely hitting and errors of theil
opponents, while the Bells went out i'll
one, two, three order. Seven to three in
favor of Wheeling,
Both sides found the ball in the fifth
Dunn and Crogan doing good work with
the stick for the Greens, and Quinn, Mad
den and Tobin for Pittsburg. One fol
Wheeling and three for The Bells resulted
and the inning closed with the score eight
TO six for the home team.
In the sixth Wheeling added three
mostly by errors of their opponents and re-
tired the Bells in one, two, three order
again, much to the delight of the crowd.
Each club scored one in the seventh, O
long hit for three bases by Dunn being the
featureOf the inning
The eighth brought no runs to either side
a two baser by Foley being the only feature
of interest.
In the ninth Wheeling made one more
for good measure and the Bells followed
suit in their hall, the game closing witt
the green stockings a good first this time
much to the satisfaction of the spectators
